RW Groundworks

Operated or Self-Drive Hire

 Groundworks

Operated Hire:

Hire any machine with an experienced RW Groundworks operator. The operator arrives with the machine, works to your direction, and takes the machine away at the end of the day. This is the right option if you don't hold the relevant CPCS tickets, or if you want someone who knows the machine inside out running it on your site.

Operated hire rates include the machine and the operator. Fuel is charged at cost.

Self-Drive Hire:

If you hold the relevant CPCS or NPORS tickets, you can hire any machine on a self-drive basis. Machines are delivered to site and collected at the end of the hire period. A brief handover covers the controls and any machine-specific features.

Valid tickets must be presented before the machine is released. Insurance cover must be confirmed — either your own plant insurance or cover arranged through RW Groundworks.

RW Groundworks

Delivery and Collection

 Groundworks

RW Groundworks delivers plant across Cornwall. Machines are transported on our low-loader and delivered to site at the agreed time. Delivery costs depend on distance from Helston — call for a quote. For multi-day hires, the machine stays on site and delivery/collection is charged once.

Why Choose Us

Why Hire from RW Groundworks

Owner-operated fleet. Every machine is owned by Reuben, not rented from a national chain. You deal directly with the owner — no call centres, no middlemen.

Well-maintained equipment. All machines are regularly serviced and inspected. Breakdowns are rare, but if one happens, a replacement is arranged quickly from the fleet.

Practical advice included. Not sure which machine you need? Call Reuben and describe the job. With 12 years of operating experience across groundworks, highways, and demolition, he can recommend the right machine and save you hiring something too big, too small, or not fit for purpose.

Direct hire rates — no depot markup. No depot overheads, no franchise fees, no sales team. RW Groundworks keeps rates low because the fleet is lean, owned outright, and maintained in-house.
